Macau Photos

I’m now into my 3rd week working in Macau. I’ve taken various photos over the last 2 weeks, and have finally managed to find a USB card reader to transfer all my files from my camera memory card to my pc, after I rather stupidly left my card reader at home, back in the UK!

There are photos of my hotel rooms in Macau, my new flat, a little walk I took this last weekend…. oh yeah, and my egg cup!

Learning my way around

Well its finally happening, I’m learning where all the important things in Macau are. I’ve been shown the butty shop & supermarket which are near the office (but hidden away in not obvious locations!). I’ve also found out that there is a supermarket beneath the apartment complex that I’m likely to end up in, when I get moved out of the hotel.

Babies

Congratulations to Alec & Michelle Maryan on the birth of their baby boy. James Thomas Maryan was born on Sat evening (just before midnight).

I do have to say that I am a little disapointed, as I specifically requested that the baby be born before I left the country, and as it turned out I was flying somewhere over Eastern Europe at the time. I shall definitly be having words with Michelle when I get back!

Relocated

Well the worst thing that could possibly have happened to me, has finally happened… I’ve relocated to Macau. It has been 2 months now, since Martin first asked if I was prepared to move, and to be honest for most of that time, I never thought it would actually happen. But here I am, working on my first day in the Macau office. Fortunately its only a 6 month relocation, so it should go fairly switfly. Although I think I might have to setup a countdown clock on this site, couting down the days, hours & minutes until I’m back home in civilisation, for Christmas!

As for the journey, well it only took 25 hours, and I managed to get a few hours sleep on the plane. Although it has to be said, I am kind of getting used to business class, as all my personal flights at xmas, for the skiing trip in February, and back in March to see Gang Show will come as a nasty shock, when I have to fly economy again!
